Man hit by car while cutting grass: police

A 69-year-old man was injured after he was struck by a car while mowing grass.

According to the Ephrata police, the crash occurred on the 100 block of Hahnstown Road Friday. A northbound vehicle slammed on its brakes when the driver saw the man cutting grass near the edge of the road.

That car continued on, but a second car, operated by a Lancaster man, swerved to avoid hitting the first car and struck a sign and the man cutting grass.

The 69-year-old man was taken to the hospital to be checked for injuries.
